Towards world peace and prosperity of everyone, a mass prayer was performed in the presence of His Holiness Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji at Thanjavur on the 9th of December, 2007.

Sri Sri Swamiji gave a powerful discourse on the greatness of the Divine Name.  In the course of His lecture, He went to show how as simple a sadhana as Mahamantra Kirtan can bring about not only worldly comforts, but also help in liberation.

The event took place in Annamalai Kalyana Mandapam, which is located on the Medical College Road in Thanjavur.  About 1500 people thronged the venue to attend the satsang.

The hall was packed with more than twice its capacity with devotees who came from different parts of the Thanjavur and surrounding areas to listen to Sri Sri Swamiji’s speech.  At the end of the discourse was a mass prayer in which all the devotees blissfully chanted the Mahamantra and performed prayers.

The function was organized by the Mahila Mandali of the Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Nama Bhiksha Kendra of Thanjavur.  The Kendra members are doing a wonderful job of performing regular Nama Kirtan in about 30 temples around the city. 

The function was well organized, thanks to the untiring efforts of Ms. Savithri Ramakrishnan and Ms. Geetha Dhandapani of the Mahila Mandali.
